She’s won awards for her work as an entrepreneur. She’s a powerhouse. If you want to bring fresh energy into your life, career, or business–or if you want to reinvent yourself in any way, shape, or form–work with Ellen. She will inspire you to get off the couch, turn off Netflix, get moving, and make your dreams happen. -ALEXANDRA FRANZEN, WRITER + ENTREPRENEUR

I collaborated with Ellen to create an online class called Miracle Worker, which we taught to about 200 students. What I love most about Ellen is her courage. She’s not afraid to march right up to someone at an event and introduce herself, make a proposition, or ask a question. This is a rare quality, especially nowadays! When you spend time with Ellen, her courage rubs off on you, and you’ll find yourself feeling braver and more tenacious, too. -GALA DARLING, SPEAKER AND THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF “RADICAL SELF-LOVE”

Ellen has somehow mastered every career she’s chosen because she’s perceptive, a people person and most importantly, she’s not afraid of hard work. When she shares her personal philosophy that ‘nothing is impossible’, it’s based on truth — she’s walked the walk and talked the talk through decades of hands-on career experience and can help her clients truly unlock any door in their way. While most people are willing to settle for their current circumstances, Ellen won’t take no for an answer. She’s the BFF, career coach and mentor you didn’t know you needed…until now! -SHAUNA HAIDER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, WE ARE BRANCH

Ellen is a long-time friend and colleague. She has experienced unthinkable pain and hardship in her life, and yet she’s one of the most positive, creative, and generous people I know. If you have a chance to work with Ellen, in any capacity, I would say… go for it. She’ll leave an imprint in your life. -LAURIE WAGNER, WRITING TEACHER, COACH, CREATOR OF 27 POWERS I run a company called Superhero Life and Ellen exemplifies what it means to be a real-life superhero. She’s a creative problem solver. She finds unusual solutions. She inspires everyone around her. She’s determined to help people. And she’s persistent and tenacious. Like Wonder Woman, she never gives up. -ANDREA SCHER, ARTIST, PHOTOGRAPHER, LIFE COACH AND MENTOR

I’ve known Ellen for years and I can vouch for her kindness and compassion. In a hyper-digital Ellen world, Ellen is one of those rare people who will say, ‘Let’s go take a walk together’ or ‘Let’s have tea and really talk.’ Whether she’s teaching a workshop, meeting with a client, or with a friend, Ellen brings so much depth and caring into every interaction. I love her and I know you will, too. -SHERRY BELUL, WRITER, GIFT MAKER, HAPPINESS COACH AND FOUNDER OF SIMPLY CELEBRATE

I hired Ellen as my career coach because I was feeling stuck. I had a big project I wanted to complete, but everything felt overwhelming and I didn’t where to begin. Ellen pushed me to get off my couch and get back into the world! She encouraged me to attend classes, set up meetings, surround myself with new people, and get the energy moving again. I’m so grateful I hired Ellen when I did. I am back on track–and Ellen’s support and you-can-do-this attitude helped so much. -AMANDA SMITH, FOUNDER, MENEHUNECHEF

Ellen came into my life at a moment of fear, confusion and frustration. I was trying to re-enter the working world after a long break and switch careers. Her clear mind and determination lead me to a professional development course, which in turn lead me to my dream job. -EVA ANGELL, FUNDRAISING ASSOCIATE, PACHAMAMA FOUNDATION

When I declared that I was launching a Women Sports Film Festival, my palms were sweaty and I thought, ‘I really have to do it now!’ And so I did! Ellen helped me to get organized and make it happen. The festival was an amazing 3 days of documentary films about kickass athletes from around the world with 500+ attendees (including Ellen Fondiler!). It was one of the hardest and most gratifying things I have ever done. So I’m going to do it again next year. -SUSAN SULLIVAN, FESTIVAL DIRECTOR, WOMEN SPORTS FILM FESTIVAL
